Hi, I've got a 19 inch alba television with built in freeview. It's a replacement model, I had the first one in June until about November when it started randomly going really bright and no matter how much I turned it down in the settings, it just kept getting brighter, it wouldn't stop! It gets so bright and contrasted you can barely see anything and the writing is all fuzzy. And now it's happened again on this replacement which is a newer model. What's happening and can I stop it or do I need a new one? It's getting ridiculous now!
Thanks

Hi Jane,
The main terrestrial channels generally have a higher signalstrength, so you may not get much better. Try auto retuning again. Also check line of sight of your aerial - does it point at a potential obstruction? (eg:hill or trees being the most likely culprits).
Hello. I've just acquired one of these TVs. There is no freeview on this model. However there are Scart and HD connections so it's easy to plug in a freeview or FTA Satellite receiver.
You can't record the Freeview channels from the TV. It doesn't work that way. The reason you can still record terrestrial channels is because the VCR is still connected to your roof aerial with a co-axial cable and the VCR has its own built-in analogue tuner for recording terrestrial TV programmes.
To record the digital Freeview channels, you will either need to connect a separate Freeview set-top box to the VCR, or buy a VCR which has a built-in digital (DVB-T) tuner.
The VCR does not record programmes from the TV. It needs to be connected directly to the signal source, i.e. your aerial.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know.
